'Iron Felix' Bronze Unveiled

MINSK -- A monument to the founder of the Soviet secret police, Felix Dzerzhinsky, was unveiled Friday in Minsk, provoking protests from human rights defenders and opposition politicians.

The 3.20-meter bronze, an exact copy of the statue of "Iron Felix" that pro-democracy crowds tore down from its pedestal opposite KGB headquarters in Moscow in 1991, now occupies a spot inside the grounds of the Military Academy. (AP)
